Summer in the City at Hotel Elysee
2008-08-15
There is plenty to see and do in London this summer as thousands of tourists flock to the capital's major attractions. Those looking to see the sights need a central location, in the heart of London's bustling attractions.
Conveniently located in Central London, the Elysee Hotel is the perfect base for your trip. Near to Paddington and Lancaster Gate Stations, the hotel provides excellent transport links to all of the major sights. This quality 3 star hotel is just a stone's throw away from some of London's major attractions. Here are a few examples:
Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens
What better place to spend a warm summer's day than in one of the capital's largest parks. Escape the hustle and bustle of the crowds and take in some of London's majestic scenery in Hyde Park.
Formerly the private gardens of Kensington Palace, Kensington Gardens, alongside Hyde Park are one of London's most popular green areas. Both are a short walk from the Elysee Hotel.
The Albert Hall
For culture vultures, Kensington's Albert Hall plays host to classical concerts, ballet and opera. In addition to this, it is also the venue forthe famous summer proms.
Notting Hill Carnival
Notting Hill with its famous carnival is just a short walk away from the Elysee Hotel. This proves to be an extremely popular and well attended event each year. This colourful, Caribbean festival runs from the 26th - 27th of August.
Thames River Cruise
Why not take a river cruise on the Thames? With a Thames Clipper River Roamer ticket, you can jump on and off whenever you please allowing you to see all of the attractions along the banks of this famous river.
The London Eye
At over 135m tall, the London eye is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. Offering spectacular views all over the city, it allows you to see the capital's skyline in style. Construction of the attraction was commissioned as part of London's millennium celebrations, alongside the ill-fated dome. In contrast to the dome, however, it proved to be a huge success, so much so that it has become one of London's top attractions.
The Houses of Parliament and 10 Downing Street
A short distance from the Elysee Hotel, the historic houses of Parliament attract millions of visitors every year. The iconic door of the Prime Minister's famous residence, 10 Downing Street is also just a short walk away from the hotel.
Shopping
If shopping is on the agenda, then the Elysee Hotel is a great place to stay, providing easy access to Oxford Street, Regent Street and of course the world-renowned Harrods department store.
When looking for a place to stay in London, you need somewhere that is central, comfortable and affordable; Elysee Hotel fulfils all of these criteria.
